When you're on your high horse
and things aren't going your way
you really don't appreciate what you wanted bad yesterday.

But if I lost it
I'd still be the same
It won't break my spirit
I'll look ahead just the same
Times are hard it's true
I'll cope!

But it won't get me down cause I got
High Hopes!

When you're on the bottom
the place to look is up
When things are getting better,
don't say enough
What you achieve
that's for you to choose
You can always
regain what you lose

Something s___ty happens and it hurts
I'll cope!
It's time we all had
High Hopes!

Some people can't rebound
when hardship hits their life
When they lose
something they love
and their friend's holding the knife.
Pick up your head,
get off the f___ing ground
These High Hopes that I have
keep me from getting down.
HIGH HOPES!
